I like it as is. But you can also audition your leading by printing out a picture and using a felt tip marker to fill in your leading lines.

What a great idea! I'd have gone out and bought ribbon. (smack on the side o'the head!!!)

Very interesting project, I would layer it and use a stable batting like a polyester fleece. Then do like a thread painting technique to create your black lines that can go from fine to heavy as you see fit but would also complete your quilting as you go.

I certainly put a lot of love into this, but I won't tell him I cursed while struggling with it.

Dear Grammy of 6,
Please do not do the black stitching. the whole effect looks like a sunset. Think sun after Good Friday. (Just my humble opinion)
This quilt took my breath away. I am sure it will have the same effect at his training. God Bless him. Pegeth
